Project Information
This one is nothing fancy but probably one of the most functional pieces I've made.
I built this bench for more storage as well as a place to have a seat or put a few things down while opening the door. It's made using spruce 2X4's and T&G Pine. I also wrapped the entire structure in vapour barrier to help protect it against moisture since the room isn't insulated at all. All together including lunber and hardware the bench cost about $100 and only took about 3-4 days to build. It was very much worth it for the use that we'll get out of it. Thanks for reading.
NOTE: The hinges I used for the four lids were from Lee Valley Tools. They're called concealed lid hinges and worked very well for this application. That being said, I wouldn't recomend them for projects that need to be more precise, they have a fair bit of play.
